The crew of the second ascent attempt of Pedro dos Sino (Bell Mountain) near Teresopolis (pop 140,000 100 km from Rio)
The only photo I have of the beautiful trail - must have been too busy to take more..
A somewhat lacklustre photo of Teresopolis and the Serra dos Orgaos ranges
This time the sunset view from the top was clear enough to see Rio
A well deserved celebration with LuBinha, Dodo, Fernanda, Tiago, me, Edna, Ricardo and LuBao
Somehow we all made it to the top to see the sunrise. Somewhat chilly. Bloody fantastic. Looking south over the Bay of Guanabara and Rio. The peak of Pedro dos Garrafao is starkly beautiful.
Looking over the ranges west towards Sao Paulo. Dedo de Deus (Finger of God mountain) is obscured by mist. 
Sunrise
Sunrise continued as clouds moved over the ranges 
Looking north as the sun hits the cliffs
Church of the Rosaria constructed with little money by freed black slaves - town of Ouro Preto (Black Gold) in the state of Minas Gerais (General Mines)
Place Tiridentes in Ouro Preto
The Square Antonio Gomes in Mariana, a town near Ouro Preto
A square in Mariana showing the hills, historical buildings and the sinister reminder of the past, the post where slaves used to be whipped
Mariana - dare I say quaint streets
The mountains and waterfalls between Mariana and Ouro Preto
